AaronJB Posted January 18, 2014 Report Posted January 18, 2014 I believe there are more amenities then what you have posted above as HOTWIRE has a new interface that does not show the complete set of amenities unless you click thru a few extra links.If you repeat your search using our BiddingHelper.com.com tool... use the HOTWIRE EASY VIEW tab and then click the GREEN BUTTON next to this listing, do you see more amenities then what you have listed above?Also, the resort fees given by HOTWIRE are not the exact amount, they are the approximate amount.Thank you for using the board's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
Commish of TX Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Posted January 18, 2014 OK, I used your building.helper tool and found the same identical listing (no additional amenities) but the price was $29 instead of $32. Any ideas as to the identity?
yellowdog Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 OK, I used your building.helper tool and found the same identical listing (no additional amenities)I'm also seeing additional amenities when replicating your search.If you go back to HOTWIRE and click this offer to get to the details page, then on the details page click the BOOK NOW button, to the right of the ensuing page under TRIP SUMMARY hover your mouse over the 'See more' link... do you see more amenities then what you included above? I'm getting this combo when searching for your dates,Free Parking Free Internet Casino Fitness Pool Restaurant Business Hi-Speed Internet Spa Childrens Activities Travel Accessible Room Accessible Handicapped Parking If this is what you see would my best guess be a slight diffrent combo for The Orleans Hotel & Casino.Everything seems to fit the Orleans, except their resort fee is $9.99 not $6.00The fee HOTWIRE shows you isn't allways the actual amount. or it might be that the information isn't updated.Keep us updated on your progress and let us know what you ultimately decide or if we can be of further help.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.Yellowdog.
Commish of TX Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks for your help Yellowdog. Here's my final thoughts:1. It most likely is the Orleans; Hotwire just hasn't updated the resort fee increase they took last year.2. Neither the Safari or Firefox browser allowed me to see more amenities; when I hover I get the "see more" message but the link fails3. There was no price advantage to using Hotwire over booking direct with the Orleans. If you book with the hotel you also get an F&B credit, and you avoid the risk of "winning" some other property. So I chose that route. Thanks!
yellowdog Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 Thanx for the follow-up and closing this thread. Please check for and use the links in our Support Page whenever possible for your non-opaque purchases, as we have links there to most of the major hotel chains and online booking agencies.Have a nice stay.Yellowdog.
